The Last Hour Between Worlds by Melissa Caruso

Did not finish book. Stopped at 33%.

There are things this story really has going for it, I just feel that I'm not the target audience for it. It's a fun read, for sure, and if it was a movie I'd probably really enjoy it, but it never really captured me enough to keep committing to it. I think the concept might work better as a short story or novella, because the full-length novel version was already feeling stretched out by about the 20-30% mark, in my opinion. 

However, that said, I think you'll really enjoy this if you like stories that get weird without much direct explanation and drop you right in. If time loops and alternate realities are your jam, you should definitely check it out. Those were this story's main strengths. I think the distance I felt from this story can really be chalked up to the writing style, which was leaning on telling versus showing, and a lack of connection to the characters. I sort of felt like this story could really be happening to anyone; there wasn't much that made me feel like this is definitely Kem's story aside from being in her POV. 

Thanks to Orbit and Netgalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.
